PRAYER TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

Bible Reading: Matthew 3:16-17

“And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water; and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him; And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16-17

Prayer to be filled with the Holy Spirit is our focus today, and it will be very good for everyone reading this message to understand that every prayer point is useful. During one of his missionary trips, the Apostle Paul questioned a group of believers about the Holy Spirit. He asked if they had received the Holy Spirit since they believed. Their answer was, “We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.” Acts 19:2.

There is no doubt that many so-called believers are in the same way not be fill with the Holy Spirit as God expected. Without the power of the Holy Spirit, there will be no effective function, and such believers are empty. While many are not filled in the expectation level, and that’s why panic, fear, and unbelief and discouragement are affecting many believers.

To be sincere with ourselves, every Christian is known by the effectiveness of the Holy Spirit, and it is equally important that believers understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit in their lives, business, careers, ministry, spiritual growth, etc.

The Holy Spirit is the promise of God for every Christians:

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh.” Acts 2:17

The fact that God is willing at this time to pour out His Spirit upon us makes these prayers very important. We must be filled with the Holy Spirit to be part of this special revelation of the power of God. Praying to be filled with the Holy Spirit is one of the major doctrines of the Bible, and that’s how the church was started in the New Testament. Acts 2:1-10

Beloved, if truly you want to be effective and accomplish the purpose of God for your life, you must be filled with the Holy Spirit. The natural powers are not effective as the power of the Holy Spirit. It is not through the natural powers of man that God moves in our world.

It is through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. (Zechariah 4:6).

Before returning to Heaven after His ministry on earth, Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit:

“But when the Comforter comes, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of me.” John 15:26.

And this promise was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2).

If you are ready to be filled with the Holy Spirit, you must do these:

• Surrender yourself unto Jesus Christ.
• Confess all your sins
• Ask for the forgiveness of all your sins.
• Wash with the Blood of Jesus.
• Pray unto God for empowerment.
